Bubble Blower bBoard Edition
Creating video games using raspberry pi and creating a video arcade to play them on.
First the students created video games using the software raspberry pi. Then the students used the raspberry pi device to connect with a monitor, joystick and game buttons. Once that was accomplished, the students used cardboard boxes to make consoles to house the joystick, buttons as raspberry pi device.
We used new technology to make a model of tanks and to give information about World War One.
We first planned out the project by brainstorming together. We made a layout of the model and did research on the computer. We then collected materials from around the house and the yard. First we built the Ozobot track then made the battle field around it. Lastly, we made the poster board by printing the information and cutting it out, arranging it on the board, then gluing it down.

My ColourBot has a battery-powered toothbrush to move the robot around and my robot makes designs on paper.
I collected my materials and then I began putting my project together. I was going use a pool noodle but it didn't move well so I used paper cups instead. I taped a toothbrush to the inside of the bottom cup and then I taped three markers to the outside of the bottom cup. I made a face and I used pipe cleaners for arms on another cup. I taped both of the cups together and then I cut up pieces of yarn to make hair. My mom helped me hot-glue the hair on to the top of my robot.

A solution to providing a thirsty puppy fresh water when she needs it!
We used a waterproof container from our recycling bin, a plastic straw, our bboard, microservo and a motion click. We also used our 3D printer to make an L shaped hard surface so that the little servo lever would clamp the straw when no motion was detected. We used the coding software from the Brilliant Labs bboard website to write a code for the microservo that controlled the lever dependent on the information it received from the motion click indicating if Polly was at her dish drinking or not. One issue that we had that we later fixed was the water leakage around the straw. Initially, we used silly puddy that we had at home but we later asked our dad to get us some waterproof caulking to use around the straw as it went into the water reservoir.
I made a bboard robot that drives with the controller.
1. I coded the microbit to control the wheel.
2. I created a remote with another microbit using a radio signal.
3. I then created 3d design that the servo wheel would fit in. I had to try a few times. I added some googly eyes for a finishing touch."

Automating the survival of tomatosphere plants!
Students have, and continue, to code moisture sensors to indicate when plants need to be watered. The sensor measures the moisture of the soil and then our microbit lights up the microbit LEDs with an icon to let us know the condition. We're working on attaching LED light strips that will be even more visual to let us know when the soil is dry. Eventually, we will code to get the lights on timers to ensure our tomatoes get enough light/darkness so they grow and produce fruit. Eventually, we'd like to extend it to our hydroponics project and make our soil-plants have their own self-watering apparatus.
